Sessions
This 60-minute panel presentation will focus on objective voice evaluation from multiple perspectives and clinical contexts. The session will bring together experts who will address methodological, developmental, professional voice, and multiparametric aspects of acoustic and aerodynamic assessment.
The panel will feature the following contributions:
- Jörg Bohlender (Switzerland): “How Objective Are Jitter and Shimmer? Insights into Perturbation Measures”
- Michael Fuchs (Germany): “Objective Voice Diagnostics in Children and Adolescents: Towards Normative Ranges”
- Hyung-Tae Kim (Korea): “Multichannel Phonokinetic Evaluation System for Assessing Professional Voice”
- Virgilijus Ulozas (Lithuania): “Comparison of Multiparametric Acoustic Voice Indices in Differentiating between Normal and Dysphonic Voices”
- Philipp Caffier (Germany): “Emerging Approaches in Acoustic Voice Analysis for Vocal Pedagogy”
Laryngeal stenosis remains one of the most challenging issues in laryngology, greatly impacting airway, voice, and quality of life. Drawing from extensive clinical experience and supporting evidence, I propose to present outcomes and surgical techniques of one-stage glottic and subglottic reconstruction using epiglottic mucosal free grafting. This method enables simultaneous treatment of complex stenosis with tissue from the same surgical field, facilitating early epithelialization and reducing morbidity. Furthermore, recent experience demonstrates that epiglottic mucosal free grafting is highly effective for vocal fold reconstruction and voice preservation following partial cordectomy for early laryngeal cancer. This keynote will address patient selection, surgical nuances, long-term voice and airway outcomes, and discuss the expanding role of this technique in modern laryngeal surgery.
